It was my idea to pitch my Bad Portraits project to them as part of their 'Break Free from ...' campaign. And it went live last night as part of the 'Break free form body hate' week.

Now I'm left juggling the heady mix of having satisfied some professional ambition ... while feeling a little bit naked. [Like an anxiety dream where you get to go on a date with Jonny Lee Miller but you're wearing those lounge pants with the holes in. You know the ones I mean.]

Oh darling! I love the article. Even with your "bad shots". I do wish the selfie I took of myself dying my hair had been half as cute as yours. Will have to see if I can find some more of that above lighting. I think by putting yourself out there (way out there) like this will give others, myself included, a shot of confidence. Huzza for you! And congrats so much on getting published!!!

Great article and every year I do think about joining in with your Bad portraits and never quite get round to it - you never know Jan 2017 might be the year I join in - especially as I got some particularly unflattering ones of us on New Years Eve - not a good idea to try and take a selfie out on your balcony in a force 7 LOL - we were definitely windswept and interesting LOL!!

well done on having the article published, and a great one it was too. And the reason I don't have any bad portraits to share? Because I'm rarely in a photo, I'm the one taking the photo!! Having said that, I did make an effort last year to actually get in photos, and even take selfies, so maybe someday I can join in!
